The number of lens power of eyeglasses of the IIUM Kuantan students between male and female
are recorded as follows:

The figure 1 and 2 shows the frequency distribution of the lens power of eyeglasses among IIUM
Kuantan students. Consider the lens power of eyeglasses obtained from a simple random sample
of 20 male students and another simple random sample of 20 female students.

1) Number of classes 2) Class width

K=1 + 3.3 log n =Range/K
K =1 + 3.3 log 20 b) Female students:
K=5.29 a) Male students:
Class width= (750-150)/5
K=5
Class width= (500-120)/5
Class width= 5
Class width= 5

a) Construct a cumulative frequency distribution.

The lens power of eyeglasses

According to the above histogram, it shows us the highest numbers of male students having lens
power of eyeglasses between 119.5 and 195.5 are 8 students.

The lowest number of frequency is 1 which is the lens power of eyeglasses is around 423.4-499.5
of male students of IIUM Kuantan.

b) The Pearsons Coefficient of Skewness (PCS)

i) Male students
 3 ( x Q 2)

= 0.3541

The distribution of the male students is positively skewed or skewed to the right.

ii) Female students

3 ( x Q 2)
